Question
Chapter 2, Problem 20CQ
Summary Introduction
To calculate: The standard free energy change for the dissociation of HEPES.
Concept introduction: The standard free energy is the Gibbs free energy (G) that indicates the continuous series of reaction more appropriately than entropy. HEPES is considered as an organic chemical buffering agent that is usually used to sustain the physiological pH range 6.8-8.2.

Cholesterol synthesis begins with the formation of mevalonate from acetyl CoA. This
process activates mevalonate and converts it to isopentenyl pyrophosphate.
Identify the atoms in mevalonate and isopentenyl pyrophosphate that will be labeled
from acetyl CoA labeled with 14C in the carbonyl carbon. Place 14C atoms and C atoms
to denote which carbon atoms are labeled and which are not labeled.
